How long would it take to become an NBL Referee

"a 35yo retired player who gets a badge and goes hard for that level"

Would have about 0% chance of becoming an NBL ref, unless their Mummy or Daddy was a highly ranked ref administrator

depends, do you start counting from starting to ref as a junior at 14yo ? or are you a 35yo retired player who gets a badge and goes hard for that level ?

the answer is - it depends upon so many things, including where you are (Tas, ACT and NT going to be near impossible) easiest/quickest would be to be based in Vic and do VBA and SEABLE essentially full time.

politics also comes into it, as it always does, nothing in sport is a pure meritocracy unfortunately.

Can anyone help with where/when there are Senior Basketball tournaments around SA/Vic.

Obviously Warnambool is a fantastic Tournament, but are there others throughout the year?
